Telesat’s Dan Goldberg Says Ground Terminal Technology has Significantly Evolved During the Past Year.
Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg kicked off the event with some important updates on Telesat’s big LightSpeed announcement earlier this year. In a keynote fireside chat, Goldberg said the company is planning on making some key launch announcements in the near future. The system which will cost around $5 billion could be a gamechanger for Telesat. Goldberg confirmed the financing is “almost done”, and that it could be in place even in the next couple of months. He admitted that moving into LEO was huge for the operator if it was to remain relevant and a key player going forward.
